More One Car Blues

It was raining this morning. That's 2 rainy mornings this month...can't have that!

Not really a problem but I have things to do, places to go.

Yella went into town to get the gardener and maid. When she returned, I left for the gym and breakfast. I returned so she can have the car for errands. A friend picked me up at the house to have lunch. (This is an act or generosity for sure, given the condition of our road) I returned in time to take the gardner and maid to town and go to rehearsal. Then home for the final night of American Idol.

Phew! Too much car shuffling!

We should have a second car by Friday or Saturday. Can't wait.

Yella performs her reader's theater Thursday night, one night only. The ticket sales have been lackluster. I hope they get a full house. I think it will be a great show. Many may miss out.

We may have reached saturation with the theater events in Boquete. I was wondering when we would hit that point.

I am now worried about attendance at my play. We have 6 nights with 50 seats per night. It could be a little thin in the audience. We will see.

For the first time, I went to work hard and for real on memorizing lines for the play. That's not too bad given that the play is 2 weeks out.

In Sylvia, I had been hard at it for 6 weeks at this point. I am soooooo thankful that I have only 5 pages of lines for this play. What a relief. Even if 3 pages are in French.

The next production, which is a Broadway Review ,goes into rehearsals at the beginning of July. I am in one number, about 6 minutes, and that's it!

I do it to hang out with fun people. I don't like the "work" of theater but I do like being with great, alive people. That is the fun of it.

Now, if I could find a way to get around the memorizing...oh, and the nasty directors...they are always a pain in the ass! Oops. My resistance to authority is leaking out.

Adios.

It does work...not like your internet, electricity, accountant, etc., etc.,
I must say again that you must have a great amount of patience!
Sounds like you and Yella are really enjoying the theatre, friends, hiking/biking, keeping in shape, music and so much more.A busy life.
Have Katey and Amon visited you?
How many times have you/and or Yella been to the states? (If all this is in your blog, I apologize for not reading it.
We are great and enjoying some perfect spring days.Steve is in Mexico "working"! He's not in Cabo del San Juan, but the other Cabo...It's at the southern most tip of the peninsula (spelling??).
More another time.
Hi to Yella!
